ahhh now that would make sense as i changed the lift pump last year to try fix an unrelated problem (it didnt) the lift pump i bought was cheap off ebay and to be honest although new i was not happy with it. fortunately i kept the old one and will re fit it .thanks for your advice i will let you know how i get on  ;) Cheers Iain
